You are the head of a cabal, bent on building a shadow empire of provinces, kings, and religions in the 13th Century. Great kingdoms unwittingly do your bidding, for their wars and Crusades only serve to further your ultimate aim - control of the medieval world.
Regions and rulers will fall, along with entire kingdoms, as you scheme and battle for dominance. But you're not alone. Other cabals forge plots of their own and wage shadow wars against you with armies and navies, assassinations and papal schemes, and heretics and spies.
Add in a few disasters and claims of heresy, along with a Mongol invasion to end the game, and you've got yourself an evening.
